Good mechanics on the North Shore area?

Just wondering if any of you guys know any good mechanics around Salem or Beverly?my dad has always used NorthEast AutoLabs. I plan on using them as well, but figured I'd ask before I called them.Need to get my fuse box repaired... don't want to do it myself... I always tend to set things like that on fire.

FYI, some of the sockets are empty from the factory.I'll see if I can get you a pic, just in case your worried for nothingI understand you must know what your looking at.I just remember looking & saying WTF, why is it like that?

right, but this is the blower motor fuse socket. There's a pin in the bottom, but not in the top, so when you install the fuse, the bottom is connected but the top is not touching anything.

It looks like maybe someone jumped it to another pin in an unpopulated socket.

Did you get your manual yet?I was just looking at it & it appears it might come out the front (I didnt know that)There are clips in the plastic that look like they free up the center where all the fuses areI've got to start looking stuff up in the future.

If you're going to own one of these B bodies, you have to learn to fix it. If you can't, having someone maintain and fix that car will cost you plenty. Fixing these cars, is part of the fun of owning it.

This time of year is always tough for me to get stuff done on cars, and I need working heat and defrosting going into the cold months.

That being said, I had no problem paying someone else to fix my Audi S6 when I got to the point of not having time to turn my own wrench... and you can imagine how much that cost me.

Most domestic mechanics are significantly cheaper than Audi shops... as are the parts.

So, I really don't mind spending some money to make sure it's done right and done quickly. I just need to get it done.

In the end I'm still saving money.keeping an S6 on the road with a value of $6500 and having it cost me $1000-2500 a year to keep running for the less than 4000 miles a year I do was silly (keeping in mind that I did about 75% of my own work on it)Keeping the RMW on the road will be cheaper no matter which way you cut it.I'm already into the car for $1800... if I have to spend $400 to get it in shape, I'm not opposed to that. I just don't want to have to be constantly chasing down a leak. Especially right before winter.At this point I don't have a free weekend on my calendar until January...

You may have made a mistake in buying it.

........Very wise words from a very wise man

..... there is an excellent B Body mechanic in the Nashua NH area....... but if you ain't serious about getting it done and dont have $$$$$$ then I'm not giving contact info ( after his approval) ..... he does great work, knows his GM's and has awesome rates.

While I would love to spend time fixing this myself, I have every weekend from now until late January booked up with family stuff. Not having a working blower motor is a safety issue because I can't defog my windows. I'm going to try to bring it to my local guy first.

I'm not opposed to wrenching on things myself but I need my car working safely going into the winter. Last year my car was ou of commission the entire winter getting the turbo rebuilt. I'd like to have a car this winter.

Blower motor takes about a half hour to replace. Very easy, just three 7mm or 9/32" screws, and a plug, and shes out.
